My son’s new wheels – a classic candy apple red Radio Flyer tricycle. What a sweet ride! He’s going to be the envy of all the kids in the neighborhood. Well, he will be, as soon as his legs are long enough to pedal the thing. Because of the layout of our living room, I…… Continue reading Sweet Ride

“Christmas Eve will find me Where the love light gleams I’ll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams” Hold on, Santa! Christmas is just a day away. Day 85 of my 365 photo a day project.
Under the Tree

Happy Birthday
Birthday hats all in a row, ready for the party to start. A birthday party for a 2-year old is exhausting, but still a lot of fun! Day 82 of my 365 photo a day project. If you are looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop,…… Continue reading Happy Birthday
Trio
A trio of native plants shot in the Milwaukee Rotary Centennial Arboretum near the Urban Ecology Center on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Shot hand-held with a Nikon D700, 24-85mm lens at 85mm, f/5, 1/160, ISO 200. Day 81 of 365.
Lincoln Memorial Drive
This shot came about more from wanting to test my new ICE 10-stop neutral density filter, rather than from a creative idea. I knew I wanted water and possibly clouds (although the clouds weren’t really moving fast enough) in the shot but other than that, I had know idea what I was going to get.…… Continue reading Lincoln Memorial Drive
Dark Forest
“The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.” –Vladimir Nabokov A foggy December day creates a dark and moody scene in Riverside Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Day 77 of 365
Stockings Hung By the Chimney
’twasn’t quite the night before Christmas, but it was at night and the stockings were hung by the chimney with care. The only thing I wish was different – outside of it not being the night before Christmas and there was no St. Nick – is that we had a real wood-burning fireplace. Oh well,…… Continue reading Stockings Hung By the Chimney
Spice
The kitchen spice racks that hang on the wall next to our stove. A 5-shot 32-bit HDR processed in Lightroom and Photoshop with help from Topaz Impression. Day 75 of my 365 photo a day project.
Clash of Styles
Of the thousands of CDs, vinyl records, cassettes (yes, cassettes), and digital files we have on/in shelves, boxes, cases, sleeves and hard drives, I believe perhaps Beethoven could have chosen a more complimentary shelf on which to sit. Then again, he was a sort of rebel in the classical music world. Hmmm. He probably would…… Continue reading Clash of Styles
Spiderman, Spiderman…
My son at the local playground. As I watched him climb, I couldn’t help but hum the tune: “Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can…” Day 71 of my 365 photo a day project.
Stone Circle
It was quiet. Only the sound of the river below and the occasional call of a cautious bird disturbed the silence. Through the damp, cold, winter fog, the narrow path led up to the top of the hill. In the clearing, sat a small stone circle. Reminiscent of an ancient meeting place, I sat alone,…… Continue reading Stone Circle
